Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating public or state ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.

Communism is a socioeconomic structure and political ideology that promotes the establishment of an egalitarian, classless, stateless society based on common ownership and control of the means of production and property in general.

Socialism = Communism 'lite'

You also might want to add the term "Progressive" to your list.

You know... that left wing code word for repackaged socialist, Marxist Bull shat. Their core themes are still class warfare.

Or better yet, just file it under Collectivist garbage and be done with it.

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound - Unknown

First of all, it's not an article, it's an opinion piece. Important difference.

It reads like a RP piece, attacks supported by partisan arguments and assumptions.

You say it outlines the reasons why the agenda will fail. Then the rather large sections you quote contain appeals to ridicule and emotion but no real arguments or 'reasons' as you say.

That one notion:
Quote:
There has always been tension between the Democratic Party and the private sector. That tension is over. With its vote in the House of Representatives to punish corporate bonus payments, the national Democratic Party has disconnected itself entirely from the private sector.

That's completely baseless. Everyone at that level has connections to the private sector. The measure to tax bonuses is going no where--just placating the populist outrage. Both parties are extremely well funded and influenced by the private sector. What happen to Dodd and Obama getting the biggest contributions from AIG?

At least you didn't offer an opinion or editorial piece up as facts supporting your position. Ann Coulter's made that practice into an art form.

Where do I start... I thought CU was a place conservative thinkers came to discuss how to become relevant and be taken seriously again... it's not about liberal or Al Gore, it's about fact vs. fiction...

When we support bad judgment, incompetence, greed, PR spin, we gain only in the short run--in angry little sound bites at a Palin rally, however when the chickens finally come home, we look like fools standing around scratching our heads wondering where all the WMD's are...

Is a total frakking joke.

We really appreciate your scathing condescending efforts to edumicate all us unwashed hillbillies though. We KNOW you have the best interests of Conservatives and Republicans at heart.

Stupid White Men ...and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation!
by Michael Moore

Turn off the tube and get informed., April 14, 2003
Stupid White Men is the most important work of nonfiction since All the President's Men. How did we all become so complacent? The 2000 election began and ended with major criminal conspiracies, after which we made a little noise, but ultimately did absolutely nothing. And that's just chapter one. Don't consider yourself informed until you've read this book. The negative reviews prove the old saying that the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist.

I am pretty much through with this jackass dispensing advice on whats "Good" for Conservatives, thank you very much.

O'Reilly thinks the way right-wing ideologues calling Obama a socialist is stupid. I guess he wouldn't be welcome here either.

The Leprechaun isn't real, he's a wind-bag who hacks for ratings. That's why he failed in Talk Radio, because he's just like Obama; without a Teleprompter telling him what to say he's a Big Dope.

Oh, and anyone who's actually READ Marx knows Socialism is the catalyst that leads to Communism, after the fall of Capitalism via the Revolution of the Proletariat. It was a crack pot idea from a Far Left Racist Anti-Semite who never worked a damn day in his life. Screw Marx, he was a moron. :mad:
